Fourskin started a battle of the sexes with his "Where are the Feminine Women" thread.
I am wondering about men. I look out the window at my neighbor. He is 37, tall and thin. Looks like a young boy, until you see the wrinkles around his eyes. Then you realize that he has no muscle. He has a muscle car, however, he has no muscle definition. For him, masculine is a car. He defines himself by the size of his engine.
As I drive down the street, I see some construction workers. Their pants are falling off as they stand with their "Road Work Ahead" signs. Their guts are so big; they have gross bellies that won't hold up their pants. They haven't shaved in days and their tee-shirt looks like they washed it in mud. They do not have any muscle definition either. Since they are tanned and sweating muscle definition would show. I see none. Where did it go?
I am confused. Where did all the masculine men go? Do they have rape fantacies like fourskin must be having? Do they shave their body hair? I think even Greg Louganis had hair on his chest and it could have effected his dive.
What defines masculinity?
Is it someone like fourskin? A coward who won't tell us if it is a man or a woman?
The dictionary says:
| masculinity |
| SYLLABICATION: | masculinity |
1. The quality or condition of being masculine.
2. Something traditionally considered to be characteristic of a male.
